I'm a little bit sad today

My friend Jen leaves Reading today as she has just finished her MA and has got to go into the real world now :s There's a lot of us who are going to miss her a lot but she's at least going to be visiting regularly

We celebrated her finishing her degree by going getting her first tattoo, which was on her foot (brave) and she didn't even flinch! That's a hard-ass woman lol.

I've been getting inked like a maniac recently, probably because it's all been free

I had a 2 hour sitting on my foot yesterday, which was a bit on the painful side as it was two hours layering up the lotus flower that my Ganesh sits in. 2 shades of pink, purple, yellow, two turquoises, white and a pinky white shade, my artist was on a mission! He wants to enter this one as "best small" at the Dragon Inkfest convention in January so he's doing amazing work but his attention to detail on my foot can hurt a bit, but in a good way lol.

I also had my left sleeve started as I was sick of having my right sleeve almost finished and blank skin on the left. I've had the outline of some orchid's and stargazer lillies which are going to look amazing. I like flowers and I love tattooed flowers if they're done well. Thesee will cover the majority of my forearm and I'm really excited to get them finished.

Anyways, I took a couple of pics, the arm hasn't turned out too well, but holding my SLR with one hand and taking the other arm with a lens that really doesn't like focussing so close was not easy and I can't find my point and shoot at the moment

but here they are:



Only thing is, I'm gonna run out of space soon :s
lol
